About this book

This book provides a comprehensive review of the latest advances in translational pain and itch research, and presents the cutting-edge developments in the study of our two principal, yet most mysteries sensations. Despite the slow progress in the discovery of effective therapies for chronic pain and pruritus, scientists around the globe now have a better understanding of why and how these conditions occur. Based on these findings, a series of novel treatment strategies are currently under development, and hopefully in a few years, medical practitioners will become more confident and optimistic when facing patients with these annoying and sometimes severe disorders. The contributing authors are world-renowned research scientists, who have made significant discoveries. The book is of interest to neuroscientists, neurologists and pharmacologists

Reviews

“The book Translational Research in Pain and Itch (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology), edited by Chao Ma and Yuguang Huang, targets to build on the basic science-related research and works on its way toward possible clinical utility. … The readership is … basic science researchers primarily interested in studying the mechanisms of generation/pathology/modulation of pain.” (Preet Mohinder Singh, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 123 (6), December, 2016)
